May Akda

Author:Indiobotod
I, Indiobotod, am an existentialist(that the individual is responsible for giving his or her own life meaning and for living that life passionately and sincerely, in spite of many existential obstacles and distractions), individualist (that the human individual is of primary importance in the struggle for liberation), a realist (that every declarative statement is either true or false, regardless of whether this can be verified), and an.... otaku?!

I am going gaga over the ShizuNatsu pair of the Anime franchise Mai Hime and because of it, I fell (madly and viciously ) in love with the Yuri genre.
